Cache warmer sources

Sources allow you to specify the origin from which URLs for your website will be obtained. Once you configure and synchronize your sources, you can use them based on the conditions set in the Warm rules.

Source synchronization operates on a cron schedule, occurring once a day. The extension also offers the option to synchronize sources using the Command line interface.

tip

A URL can only be added to the Pages section if the page was directly retrieved from the server upon opening. If the page was loaded from the cache, the extension will not be able to add it. Such a URL will be retrieved later through the Visitors' actions source. Clearing the cache before manually running the sources will help warm up more pages.

The list of Sources are located at System -> Page Cache Warmer -> Sources By default available only Visitors' actions source.
